Match Racing Results Service 56th Governor's Cup

• competitors

Twelve teams will be competing in the Governor’s Cup 22 sloops, which are provided to the competitors by the event's host, Balboa Yacht Club .

For over 90 years, the Balboa Yacht Club has served to encourage yacht racing and cruising, promoted the science of seamanship and navigation, and provided a beautiful clubhouse and marina for the educational, recreational, and social use of its members, families, and guests.

California Governor (later US President) Ronald Reagan granted the Deed of Gift for the Governor’s Cup to Balboa Yacht Club in 1967 “for the purpose of encouraging Youth Racing in the State of California and the recognition of the skill and high performance of those men and women under twenty years of age…” As an invitation only match racing regatta, the Governor’s Cup was established by the late Chet and Glee Purcell. Mr. and Mrs. Purcell had a vision that a national match racing competition should be created for younger sailors, similar in format to the internationally recognized Congressional Cup Regatta.  As the years progressed, the Governor’s Cup grew in popularity with its first international team participating in 1989. Since then teams from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Finland and Spain have participated and become regular entrants and often multiple winners. The Cup has served as a gateway for future champions in collegiate competition, the Olympics, Congressional Cup, Swedish Match Tour and numerous America’s Cups. 

The Governor’s Cup has a special relationship with the America’s Cup with the latter having visited Balboa Yacht Club during “Gov Cup Week” twice in recent years. Norbert Bajurin, Commodore of the current holder of the America’s Cup, said it best, “The Governor’s Cup is the America’s Cup for youth.” Truer words were never spoken. BYC can be very proud of this illustrious history and its alumni from fourteen countries and territories around the world. When you watch this and every year’s Governor’s Cup, you are seeing some of the future stars of the sport. 

Pathway for Champions

If the sailing careers of decades of Governor's Cup alumni are any guide, the GovCup is truly a "Pathway for Champions." Below are profiles of some of the great sailors and world champions that have sailed in the Governor's Cup and gone on to the America's Cup, the Olympic Games, the World Match Race Tour, and, in what has to be the event most different from the GovCup, the Round the World Race!

Argyle Campbell

Argyle Campbell of Newport Beach, California, won the first two Governor's Cups in 1967 and 1968, sailing for the Balboa Yacht Club. He was also a two-time All American sailor at the University of Southern California while beginning his match racing career, but hit the big time in match racing soon after his Gov Cup wins.

In 1970 and 1972, Argyle won Long Beach Yacht Club's Congressional Cup, with a crew that included Andy Rose (winner of the '69 and '70 Gov Cup).

Argyle continues one-design sailing to this day, including a world corinthian championship in the Melges 24 class and multiple championships in the Etchells class.

100 years, countless memories for the Balboa Yacht Club

The Balboa Yacht Club kicked off its centennial Saturday night during its annual installation of new officers and end-of-year meeting, with 200 members enjoying dinner and fireworks at what Centennial Committee chair Stacie Brandt said would be the first of many upcoming celebrations.

“We have all-year events,” said Brandt. “There’s a lunch in March, a ball in April and a regatta in August.”

According to Brandt, a group of men from the Newport Harbor Yacht Club who wanted to focus more on small-boat sailing in 1922 founded the Southland Sailing Club, which became the Balboa Yacht Club in 1928.

With its prime location near the entrance to the Newport Harbor on Bayside Drive in Corona del Mar, the club sits directly across the water from the second clubhouse on Little Balboa Island. “They found a beach cottage on the [Balboa] Peninsula, which was their first clubhouse,” said Brandt. “Their second clubhouse, between 1926 and 1941, was on the [southeast] tip of Little Balboa Island until their lease ran out, and they built the current club in 1941.”

Many of the attendees at the event had positive things to say about their club memberships, some of which extend back decades.

Russell Miller, who had worked at Balboa Yacht Club as the food and beverage manager from 2008 until 2014, said he felt lucky to come back as the club’s general manager in 2019.

“It is immensely satisfying to me that I get to celebrate the club’s centennial year with the people who, outside of my family, mean the most to me in my life,” said Miller. “BYC is truly an exceptional club filled with exceptional people.”

Morrie Kirk, who has been boating since he was 3 years old and has been an active member of the club since 1969, is the senior staff commodore and oldest staff commodore. He was commodore in 1977.

“The biggest change is in the city and how much it’s grown,” said Kirk. “The club is very much the same, we’re a boating club, friendly, family-oriented club, same location since 1941.”

Kirk explained that the club was originally all sailing, and today there are more powerboats than sailboats. The current membership of 600 has changed over the years due to attrition, but the club still has 50 members who joined the club more than 50 years ago.

On Saturday, Kirk was selected by the incoming commodore, Paul Blank, to be the “installing officer” to relieve the current board of responsibilities and introduce the new commodore.

“I chose him because he’s a great man, a good friend, has contributed greatly to BYC through several decades and has the most seniority among the staff commodores,” Blank said.

Blank, a Corona del Mar resident and the Newport Harbormaster, has been a member of the club for 37 years. “The location is excellent, friendship built from shared passion on the water activities that I have not found at other clubs,” he said. “The camaraderie, support, improved seamanship, adventures near and far, small and large, all trying to make each other better.”

While boating innovation has changed over the last 100 years, the shared passion for water activities among members remains consistent.

Blank has seen changes in manufactured-boating styles and opportunities for boating innovation, such as speed and vessel foiling, like hydrofoil sailboats flying out of water. “Boating has changed, style, availability and increased variety,” said Blank. “What has remained consistent is the passion for getting out on the water no matter what the vessel is.”

A burnished wood plaque from 1926 that hangs today over the present club’s dining room fireplace reflects that attitude. The first commodore, Isaac B. Potter, originally donated the plaque, which includes a quote from 20th U.S. President James A. Garfield that calls for gutsiness, courage and determination to meet danger or difficulty: “A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.”

Sophia Young and Jia Perkin scored 15 points each as Galatasaray beat Cras Basket (76-64) in a repeat of the 2009 EuroCup Women final.

After a tight first quarter which ended (19-15) in favour of Galatasaray, Galatasaray dominated the second quarter (27-10) to lead (46-25) at the interval.

Cras Basket made a fight of it during the second half of the match. Despite the efforts of Rebekkah Brunson with 17 points for the Italians, it was not enough to stop Galatasaray.

Elodie Godin scored 8 points and Kathy Wambe finished with 11 points and 5 steals for Cras Basket.

Abdou N'Diaye, the coach from Villeneuve d’Ascq, knew about Carla Thomas because she played in the LFB with Arras during the 2007-2008 season. But he admitted that he was surprised by her three-point shooting.

She had then given the Villeneuve supporters a reminder of what she used to do in the LFB as she led her side with 26 points and 8 rebounds while she was 3-from-8 from beyond the arc.

Villeneuve did not start the match well and trailed (4-10) after only three minutes.

However they went into the lead for the first time with a trey by Elodie Bertal (14-12) with a little under five minutes played.

The advantage did not last long with Thomas equalizing on the very next play. Thomas fired in 14 points during the first quarter as Gospic won the first quarter (23-20).

Thomas opened the second quarter with a trey and Gospic moved 8 points clear seconds later with 2 points from Andja Jelavic.

Jolene Anderson started the Villeneuve revival with a shot from her spot behind the arc. The sides were soon level with 5 points coming from Bertal (30-30) with 15 minutes played.

The lead changed hands several times as the two teams traded basket for basket until Anderson broke the sequence with a pair of free-throws for the home side to lead (38-34).

Ivona Bogoje who played at Challes-les-Eaux during the first part of last season scored for the guests.

Yet 2 points for Emilie Gomis took Villeneuve into the interval leading (40-36).

After the break Lady Comfort and Ana Cata Chitiga were tasked with keeping Thomas in check while Anderson and Bertal took care of the defensive boards.

The last quarter was a lively affair with the hosts controlling the pace.

This resulted in all 10 players from Villeneuve getting onto the court as they won (73-59).

Anderson and Bertal (right) led the scoring with 18 and 15 points each. they also dominated the rebounding with 12 and 11 points respectively.

Comfort scored 10 points and took 9 rebounds and recorded 4 blocks. Cata Chitiga also scored 10 points.

In the other EuroLeague Women tie from Group B Wisla Can-Pack Krakow won on the road against last season's final four finalist Halcon Avenida (65-60).

Wisla took control of the game during the second period to lead (32-27) at the pause and stayed in front for the rest of the game. Liron Cohen with 21 points was the match winner.

In the last game in Group B, it took one shot from beyond the arc with 9 seconds left to play by Laura Macchi for Beretta-Famila Schio to snatch the victory against their hosts MiZo Pécs (58-55).

Bourges Basket were eliminated by MKB EuroLeasing in their last EuroLeague Women game in March on their home court as they were swept 2-0 in the quarter-final.

So the EuroLeague basketball negative series continues with a home defeat (53-60) to ZVVK USK Prague.

It was not a great game by either side. ZVVK made too many errors while Bourges were hesitant and out of rhythm despite leading (17-12) at the end of the first period.

This was quickly followed by back to back three-pointers by Evanthia Maltsi to put the guests into the lead (21-17).

Bourges fought back but were unable to go in front despite drawing level twice because ZVVK continued to score from behind the arc. The guests had a total of 7 three-pointers scored when they led (40-36).

The rest of the game was tactical and messy with neither side getting a run going. However three-pointers by Lindsay Whalen and Cathrine Kraayeveld, midway through the third period, gave ZVVK a 10-point advantage (48-38).

A trey from Nwal Endéné Miyem and a free-throw from Jennifer Digbeu at the end of the quarter reduced the hosts' deficit to 5 points (45-50).

The final quarter was dull and disappointing with ZVVK holding on to win (60-53).

Whalen led the scoring with 12 points. Kraayeveld (12 rebounds) scored 11 points while Eihotova and Maltsi finished on 10 points each. Sandra Le Dréan scored 4 points and had 9 rebounds.

For Bourges Emméline Ndongue led the scoring with 10 points.

MKB Euroleasing from Sopron in Hungary waited until the final quarter before blowing away their guests Good Angels Kosice (74-63).

MKB trailed (47-48) going into the final quarter but used a 10-2 run to regain control of the match (57-50) with 33 minutes played.

MKB then paced themselves for the remaining seven minutes to win (74-63). They had four players in double digits. Yet the player of the match was Candice Dupree with 24 points and 10 rebounds for Good Angels Kosice.

Rivas Ecópolis opened their EuroLeague Women season with with a comfortable home victory (85-60) against KSSSE AZS-PWSZ Gorzow from Poland.

Rivas were never in any difficulty in this match and took control of the match with a 9-0 run to lead (15-7) with 5 minutes played which they increased to 22 points (49-27) at the interval.

Clara Moreno dished out 11 assists during the first 20 minutes.

Gorzon who are unbeaten in the Polish League reduced the deficit slighting during the third period but were powerless during the final quarter.

Jelena Dubljevic finished the game as top scorer with 18 points for the hosts.

Diana Taurasi (left) has not played a game of basketball since the WNBA finals. Yet she has been in all the basketball news this week because her coach, László Rátgéber believes that she is a better player than Michael Jordon.

Anyway she made her return to competitive basketball with a bang, 27 points, 5 assists, a couple of steals and 1 block to lead Spartak Moscow Region to victory against Frisco Sika Brno (95-71).

Spartak Moscow did not have it all their way and trailed (22-23) after the first quarter. They turned things around in the second quarter and went into the locker room leading (49-38) thanks to a three-pointer from Taurasi.

Spartak Moscow controlled the pace of the game after the break to secure the victory.

Taurasi stole the show but other players from her side also made big contributions. Sylvia Fowles scored 17 points and had 10 rebounds while Anete Jekabsone-Zogota went 4-from-5 from beyond the arc to finish with 14 points. Janel McCarville contributed 12 points and captured 9 rebounds.

Linda Fröhlich fired in 20 points but ended up on the losing side.

Fenerbahce dominated their opponents from Poland, Lotus Gdynia for 27 minutes and they led by over 20 points (61-37).

Then Lotus Gdynia went to work on reducing the deficit. With 30 seconds left to play, Fenerbahce's advantage was just 4 points (71-67).

Furthermore the game was finished on the free-throw line with Nicole Powell and Penny Taylor scoring as Fenerbahce held on to win (75-67).

Tarbes got the EuroLeague Women win they wanted. But once again their fans were left on the edge of their seats as the opponents Szeviép Szeged pushed all the way.

Tarbes went into the final quarter leading (70-54). However 6 unanswered points from Vaida Sipaviciute , who played in the LFB last season with Arras, kick started the guests' fight back. Zsuzsanna Horváth then hit a trey as other players took over the offensive duties.

Emöke Föresz tied the game and then put her side in front from the free-throw line (78-77) with 2 ½ minutes left to play.

Isabelle Yacoubou-Dehoui levelled the score as she split a pair of free-throws.

The home side then had some luck when Föresz' three-point attempt fell short. Florence Lepron restored the lead for the hosts.

Still the teams were level once more with Sipaviciute scoring her 22nd point of the evening.

In this match Tarbes were just scoring 50% from the free-throw line. So it came as no surprise that Szeviép Szeged took the chance on fouling a player from Tarbes to stop the clock.

Anne Breitreiner split the pair. Afterwards Szeged had 20 seconds to win the game but messed up the last play, which allowed Tarbes to win the match (81-80).

Pauline Jannault led the scoring for Tarbes with 19 points. She went 6-of-8 from beyond the arc.

Tarbes scored a total of 13 three-pointers in the match but were 10-from-20 from the free-throw line.
